Education and career

Huemer graduated from the University of California, Berkeley and earned his Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 1998 under the supervision of Peter D. Klein.[3]

Philosophical work

Huemer's book Ethical Intuitionism (2005) was reviewed in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews,[4] Philosophy and Phenomenological Research[5] and Mind.[6]

Huemer is the author of The Problem of Political Authority (2013), which argues that the modern arguments for political authority fail and that society can function properly without state coercion.[7]

Vegetarianism

Huemer is an advocate of ethical vegetarianism. In 2016, Huemer debated Bryan Caplan on the ethical treatment of animals, including insects.[8] In 2018, Huemer commented: "In the overwhelming majority of actual cases, meat eaters do not have any reasons that could plausibly be claimed to justify the pain and suffering caused by their practice."[9]

His Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism (2019) is a series of dialogues on the ethics of eating meat. Peter Singer, who wrote the foreword to book, commented that "In the future, when people ask me why I don't eat meat, I will tell them to read this book."[10][11]
